A funny thing happened to Bernie Sanders campaign for the Democrat presidential
nomination, it was killed. The 'death' is not due to his unpopularity among the electorate,
but the desires of the party leaders who are the ones who determine the limits any member
can rise to.
Why is this happening? Its due to a year long drip, drip, drip of information that Hillary
may not be able to continue due to the severity of an FBI and Congressional investigation,
leaving party leaders in despair as the person they want might have to withdraw.
The task now is to figure out who else can nicely fit under the nominee's crown already fitted
for Hillary! Once this person is cajoled to enter the race the convention delegates will vote
as told, and Bernie will be vanquished to the sidelines.
The party's desperation has gotten to the point of even considering a "duo", offering up two
candidates at its convention in July to run in tandem in the general election as president and
vice-president nominees.
This unorthodox step is being done after a year of primaries and caucuses in which Sanders,
the last candidate standing garnered millions of votes that the party view as meaningless and
treated as if his success never even happened.
There may no longer be smoked filled room to "elect" nominees, but even though the air is
clear the stench of the past remains.
